• The WBW range provides accurate, fast and versatile general
purpose weighing scales with check-weighing functions.
• There are three series within the range- WBW-M, WBW and
WBWa.
• The WBW-M scales are configured at the factory for compliance
with EN 45501, OIML R-76. They have different capacities and
readabilities from the standard WBW series.
• The WBW series are similar to the WBWa series except the
WBW scales are usually set for metric units, whereas for the
WBWa series are usually set for imperial units. However, the user
can change the setting as explained in section 13.2.
• All have stainless steel weighing platforms on an ABS plastic
base assembly which is sealed to IP 65, making it water-proof.
• All scales have sealed keypads with colour coded membrane
switches and the displays are large easy to read liquid crystal
type displays (LCD) supplied with a backlight. The scales can be
supplied with an optional rear display.
• The scales include automatic zero tracking, audible alarm for preset weights and semi-automatic tare.

WARNING: The WBW-M scales should not be calibrated by the user. Calibration of
the scales may make it illegal to use the scales. The scales are sealed to prevent
unauthorised access to the circuit boards inside the scale. Any modifications done to
the mechanisms inside by breaking the security seals may make it illegal to use the
scale. If the seals are broken or tampered with, the scale needs to be re-verified by
an authorised certification body and re-sealed, before it is used legally. Contact your
local metrology standards office for further assistance.
• The WBW Series comes with a stainless steel pan. Place it on
the top if already not installed.
•Do not press with excessive force as this could damage the load
cell inside.
• Level the scale by adjusting the four feet. The scale should be
adjusted such that the bubble in the spirit level is in the centre of
the level and the scale is supported by all four feet.
• Attach the power supply module to the bottom of the scale and
plug into the mains.
Attach Power Supply
module here
• Press the [O/I] key to start. The scale will first display the
software revision, followed by a self-test.
• At the end of the self-test it will display zero weight, if the zero
condition has been achieved and the weighing unit that was in
use last. A stable and zero symbol indicators are also displayed.
Sets the zero point for all
subsequent weighing. The
display shows zero.
Tares the scale and stores the
current weight in memory as a
tare value, subtracts the tare
value from the total weight and
shows the results. This is the
net weight.
Selects the weighing units from
a preset list of available units.
Sets the limits for check
weighing and allows setting of
either the low limit or the high
limit or both.
Escapes from a parameter or an
option without changing the
value.
Enters the selected parameter or
value for setting.
Shifts the flashing digit to the
next digit when entering a value.
Increments the flashing digit or
moves to the next option during
setting.
4.1 NUMERIC ENTRY METHOD
To set a value when required, use the keys as given below-
• The scales can be operated from the battery, if desired. The
battery life is approximately 50 hours.
• When the battery needs charging a symbol on the display will turn
on. The battery should be charged when the symbol is on. The
scale will still operate for about 20 minutes after which it will
automatically switch off to protect the battery.
• To charge the battery, simply attach the power supply module to
the scale and plug in. The scale does not need to be turned on.
• The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity.
• Below the display is a LED to indicate the status of battery
charging. When the scale is plugged into the mains power the
internal battery will be charged. If the LED is green the battery is
being charged. If it is red it is nearly discharged and yellow
indicates the battery is increasing the charge level. Continue to
charge overnight for a complete re-charge.
8.0 BACKLIGHT
The backlight for the LCD can be set by the user to always off, always on or
automatic (on only when the scale is in use or a key is pressed). See setting
of the parameter “S2 bL” in section 13.2.
9.0 AUTO POWER OFF
The auto power off can be set by the user to disable the feature or to a preset time interval. See setting of the parameter “S3 AoF “ in section 13.2.
• You can press the [Zero] key at any time to set the zero point
from which all other weighing and counting is measured. This will
usually be necessary when the platform is empty. When the zero
point is obtained the display will show the zero indicator.
• The scale has an automatic re-zeroing function to account for
minor drifting or accumulation of material on the platform.
However you may need to press [Zero] to re-zero the scale if
small amount of weight is still shown when the platform is empty.
10.2 TARING
• Zero the scale by pressing [Zero]. The zero indicator will be on.
Place a container on the pan and its weight will be displayed.
• Press [Tare] when the reading is stable. The weight that was
displayed is stored as the tare value and it is subtracted from the
display, leaving zero on the display. The stable and Net indicator
will be on.
• As a product is added only the weight of the product will be
shown. The scale could be tared a second time if another type of
product was to be added to the first one. Again only the weight
that is added after taring will be displayed.
When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If the
scale was tared just before removing the container, this value is the
gross weight of the container plus all products which were removed.
The zero indicator will also be on as the platform is back to the same
condition it was when [Zero] was pressed last.
Press [Tare] or [Zero] to remove the tare value and display zero. The
Net indicator will disappear.
10.3 WEIGHING
To determine the weight of a sample, first tare an empty container if
used, then place the sample in the container. The display will show the
weight and the unit of weight currently in use.
To change the weighing unit press the [Unit] key. The available
weighing units are the ones that are enabled by the user in the
parameters section. See section 13.2.
10.4 CHECK-WEIGHING
Check-weighing is a procedure to show a display or cause a beeper to
sound when the weight on the scale meets or exceeds the values
stored in memory. The memory holds values for a high limit and a low
limit. Either or both the limits can be used.
NOTE:
1. The beeper and the LEDs can each be set to OFF (See section
13.1). The LCD display will indicate whenever the weight is within or
exceeds the limits by showing ‘OK’, ‘HI’ or ‘LO’.
2. The limits can be locked by the manager. A Limit Password must be
used to change the limits or recall other limits from memory.
3. If Limit Password is enabled then enter the password which will allow
you to change the limits or the operation of the beeper or bargraph.
Setting up Check-weighing
• Press the [Limit] key. It will show the last used high limit.
• The user will be asked for the password if the current check-
weighing password is anything other than “0000”. See the
parameter “F4 PS” in section 13.1. Enter the correct password using
the numeric entry method as mentioned in section 4.1. If the
password is “0000” it will display the last used high limit. The “HI”
symbol will appear on the display.
•Press [Tare] to accept the displayed high limit or enter the new high
limit using the numeric entry method (see section 4.1). When the
desired value is entered press [Tare] to accept the value. The “LO”
symbol will be on. Display will show the last used low limit. Set the
low limit in the same way the high limit was set.
•Pressing the [Tare] key will return the scale to weighing, with the
Check-weighing function enabled.
NOTE: The limits are displayed in the weighing unit in use. The decimal
point is fixed at the position that is used for the current weighing unit. If
the weighing unit is pounds:ounces, the limits are entered in pounds
and decimal parts of pounds. i.e. 6,0125 lb.
10.5 LIMITS STORED IN MEMORY
If the scale is turned off it stores the last high and low limits in the memory
along with information about the weighing unit in use when the limits were
stored. If the scale is turned on again, the limits and the weighing unit will be
active.
The scales are sealed to prevent unauthorised access to the circuit boards
and load cell.
One method calibration of the WBW-M scale is accomplished by breaking the
security seals to gain access to the circuit boards inside. See the figures on
the security seal as given below.
WARNING: BREAKING OF THE SEALS MAY MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO USE
THE SCALES FOR SALES OF GOODS. CONTACT YOUR TRADING
STANDARDS OFFICE FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE.
12.2 SECURITY SEALS
Method of sealing
Alternative method
The scale has got metallic loops on the base
and the cover, located at the right rear corner
as shown here. A metal pin or wire can be
passed through the loops and sealed using a
lead-wire seal. Ensure the seal is secured
enough to prevent removing the cover
without breaking the seal or damaging the
enclosure.
An alternative method would be to use
tamper-evident labels over the screw on the
bottom cover and over the joint between the
top and the bottom cover as shown in the
adjacent figure.
Metrology labels and additional security
measures may be added to the scale as
required by the national legislation.
NOTE: IF THIS SEAL IS BROKEN THE SCALE MUST BE RE-SEALED BY
THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES USING EITHER THE LEAD WIRE SEAL
OR AN ACCEPTABLE SEAL BETWEEN THE COVER AND THE BASE.
The scales are sealed to prevent unauthorised calibration. However it is
possible to calibrate the scales as the software includes a counter to keep
track of how many times the scale has been calibrated and this value is
recorded on the scale so that future inspections can see if the scale has had
the counters incremented.
Refer to the WBW-M Service Manual for details of calibration procedures.
12.4 WBW SERIES , NOT APPROVED
The WBW non-approved scales are calibrated using metric weights when the
weighing unit selected is either kilograms or grams and using pound masses
when the weighing unit selected is either pounds, ounces or pounds:ounces.
Method 1
• To start the calibration turn the scale off and then turn it on again.
Press [Tare] during the self-test. Scale will show “P- - - - “. Enter
code number “0000” using the numeric entry method (see section
4.1) and press [Tare]. This will take you directly to the calibration
section.
• Display will show "UnLoAd".
• Remove all weight from the pan and then press the [Tare] key
when the scale is stable.
• After the Zero point is set, the display will show “Ld xx”. Place the
suggested calibration mass on the pan. It is best to use a weight
close to the full capacity of the scale. If the mass is different from
the displayed value, enter the value of the mass in whole
numbers using the numeric entry method (see section 4.1). The
kg or the lb symbol will be on to show the active unit.
• Press the [Tare] key when the stable indicator is on.
• The scale will calibrate to the mass and then return to weighing.
• Remove the calibration weight as soon as calibration is complete.
Alternatively, you may calibrate entering the group 2 Parameters (see
Section 13.2).
• Press [Tare] when “S6 CAL” is displayed.
• Display will show “UnLoAd”.
• Remove all weights and press [Tare] when the scale is stable.
• Display will show “Ld xx”. Place the suggested calibration mass on the
pan.
• Press the [Tare] key when the stable indicator is on.
• The scale will calibrate to the mass and then return to the parameter
“S6 CAL”
• Press the [Zero] key to return to weighing.
• Remove the calibration weight as soon as calibration is complete.
NOTE: If an error message “FAIL H” or “FAIL L” is shown during calibration, re-
check the calibration and repeat, if necessary. If the error cannot be
corrected contact your dealer or Adam Equipment for advice.
This section allows the user to access the parameters for customising the
scale. The parameters are split into 2 groups-
1. Check weighing Parameters
2. Scale Parameters
In the following sections use the [Limit] key to scroll through the options, the
[Tare] key to accept the option and the [Zero] key to return to weighing.
Wherever numeric values are required to be entered, use the [Limit] and
[Unit] keys to increment the flashing digits as explained in section 4.1.
13.1 CHECK WEIGHING PARAMETERS
To enter this section press and hold the [Limit] key for 4 seconds. You will
be asked for the password if the current check-weighing password is
anything other than “0000”. See the parameter “F4 PS” in this section. Enter
the correct password using the numeric entry method as mentioned in
section 4.1. If the password is “0000” it will go directly to “F1 LLK”.

Limit Lock will prevent a normal
user from changing the check
weighing limits. To change the
limits, this parameter must be
disabled by setting it to off or the
user must enter the password.
Setting the LED
This parameter sets the Beeper to
off or on. If set to on, the beeper
can further be set to sound when
the weighing result is within or
outside the check-weighing limits.
